Stop watching the news....and making so many posts (in any social networking venue) about what is wrong in the world.
 
 
Focus more on everything you are grateful for, and what is going right.

I try to stay present and to not judge a situation, but it definitely is hard to stay out of our story.

If only it were that simple, HC. I'm very concerned for my species and all the stuff I see. For example, people speak very highly of love, but what I see is arrogance and selfishness. The words come easy, but the deeds are next to impossible. Fear is far easier than love and fear is, more likely than not, to wind up as hate. So I try to love and care for people... but I wind up fearing them.

One doesn't need reasons to be optimistic. If you have everything, what's there left to be optimistic for?
It is a choice. You either are optimist or pessimist.
